Hoyer takes on heckler

Republicans are having a field day sending out stories and videos of Democrats having a tough time with hostile crowds at town halls.

But Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) seemed ready for the rough reaction at an event he hosted on high-speed rail in Utica, N.Y., with Rep. Michael Arcuri (D-N.Y.). Hoyer took on a loud member of the audience, saying, "Let me tell you the facts, my friend."

To which the man in the audience responded: "I'm not your friend."

A closer look at this video also calls into question whether this is a serious grass-roots movement of town hall protesters or just a few folks holding "tea party" signs. The Utica crowd, shown by a local TV news station, is sparse, and the anger seems to be coming from just a few in the audience.
